All biomass potentials (woody and non-woody) and all biogas plant locations are now available online as maps. The SCCER BIOSWEET team at the WSL has published the data together with the Swiss Federal Office of Energy on the mapping platform of the Swiss Confederation (map.geo.admin.ch). The maps show…

Kasia is a postdoctoral researcher working in the Catalytic Process Engineering group (CPE, Frederic Vogel). Although she is funded by European Commission under the H2020 programme and Marie Curie Individual Fellowship Action (MSCA-IF), she works within the SCCER BIOSWEET framework and has the same research vision…

Lignin is one of the most promising sources of renewable aromatic hydrocarbons. Current methods for its extraction from lignocellulosic biomass—which include the kraft, sulfite, and organosolv processes—result in the rapid formation of carbon–carbon bonds, leading to a condensed…

The catalytic direct methanation of biogas to produce biomethane was conducted in a pilot plant with real biogas from a biogas plant in Zurich. Stable operation of the methanation system including a bubbling fluidised bed could be demonstrated for over 1100 h of regular…

An adsorption-based biogas cleaning system for deep desulfurization (<0.25 ppmv sulfur) was tested at pilot scale during a long-duration (1130 h) field demonstration. The goal was to protect a catalytic methanation reactor during direct methanation of biogas, where the biogas source was partly from a...
